Every photographer needs something to hold or store their gear. We spend tons of money on our equipment and  finding the right storage for your gear can be a huge challenge. There are so many options from backpacks, cases, and modular systems, it’s not easy to find the right fit. I finally found a system which works great for my shooting style and it’s the best investment in photography gear I’ve made in a long time. Read More

It’s a beast! My first experience with the 85L MK 1 was a few years ago and I was not impressed. I rented the lens, shot with it on the Canon 5D and I just didn’t get what all the hype was about over this lens. Fast forward a few years and I’m here to tell you, I now understand why this lens is so special. Read More

Canon 200L F/2.8 MKII Lens Review

There are times when you need a little extra reach and a 200mm lens can do the trick.  I’ve owned the Canon 70-200L IS  F/2.8 MK1 and it was a great lens.  This lens,  at 200mm is sharper than my 70-200L was.  If you are in the market for a nice telephoto lens and you want something very close in performance to the Canon 135L but with more reach, then you should continue reading this review.

The Canon 100-400L IS has been around for a number of  years and is a solid performer. This was my first “L” lens purchase and even though it was and is not cheap, it’s really worth the investment if you are looking to add the 100-400mm range to your arsenal.  High resolution sample images included in the post.

Lens Review – Sigma 50mm F/1.4 EX DG HSM

You should have a 50mm in your bag. The focal length is very “true to life” on a full frame camera and it gives you a very “real” feeling to your images.  It’s a very useful focal length. I’ve enjoyed the Sigma 50mm F/1.4 and if you give it a try, I think you will enjoy the lens as well. Read More

I remember being very excited about purchasing this lens. This lens changed the way I judged my other lenses! It was an “eye opening” experience to say the least. Read More
